President Barack Obama urges Californians to "get out and vote for Barbara Boxer" in a new radio ad being aired across the state by the Democratic senator's campaign.

"Barbara Boxer is fighting every single day for jobs, to get our economy back on track and put California back to work," the president says, as music plays in the background. Crediting the three-term senator with "taking on the banks" and "helping families stay in their homes," Obama adds, "Make no mistake, California: We can't go back."

Responding to the new ad, Fiorina spokeswoman Andrea Saul called it "the latest installment of [Boxer's] desperate and deceptive advertising campaign to save her political career."

Obama is scheduled to campaign for Boxer in Los Angeles on Friday, another sign that Boxer is working to mobilize the Democratic base as well as an indication that Obama is still considered popular enough to fire up California voters.

A late September California Field Poll found that 53 percent of registered voters approved of his job performance.

Obama should have mentioned in the 60 second ad the two trillion dollar tax cut Boxer told Wolf Blitzer of CNN she voted for..................This senator is toast, even if she gets re-elected, her brain is toast.

I really hope that the Soviet Republic of California elects Jerry Brown and B Boxer this election year.. Those wins, plus the Communists in the Legislature.. will be the quickest way to send the State into the Bankruptcy Abyss...

Then people might see where the Country is going.. and begin to turn this lumbering Ship into a fiscally sane Country Again.

Boxer needs to get a job herself. The last place she worked creating private sector jobs was..............? EXACTLY. I've lived in California for thirty years. It has gone from an economic powerhouse to the same status as Greece. Guess who these liberal fools want to have running my state? Jerry Brown and Boxer.

I'm not leaving no matter how bad it gets here. I will provide constant commentary and reports via my website as the economy here melts down. We still have the power Californians, just don't vote the idiots back in and this state has a chance.

Hear, hear Purple. Fifth generation Californian, and 54 years personally. The nation must see what progressive Democrat policies will do.

California should be leading the nation in economic power. Instead, liberal/progressive policies continue to stiffle growth, and hold back economic opportunity. One in eight people living in the U.S. live in California, and the results from the last 30 years of liberal Democrat rule should be broadcast daily. The President should be ashamed to show his face in approval of the economic destruction his party has caused here.

Dumping the worthless Boxer is just a start. The long term damage that has occured while she, Pelosi, and Feinstein have been in office should be cause for criminal action. Unfortunately, the only thing that can be done is to send them packing via the ballot box.

Dump Boxer and take the first step towards returning California to the prosperity it should be achieving.
